REFLECTORS

Use in recessed cans, flood or spot lights, indoors or outdoors. LEDs are dimmable, but CFLs should indicate “dimmable” on the
packaging before using in conjunction with a dimmer switch. Note that the electronic ballasts in CFLs are not always compatible
with electronics in motion sensors and photo cells, which could shorten the life of the CFL.

R or BR Reflectors

Use to replace an R or BR
lamp in recessed can and
other applications. Common
sizes are R 20, R or BR
30 and R or BR 40. These
lamps are available in both
CFL and LED options.

PAR Reflector

Use to replace a PAR lamp
in recessed, track and spot
or flood light applications.
Common sizes are PAR 30
and PAR 38. These lamps
are available in both CFL and
LED options.

LED MR16

Use to replace halogen
MR16s. These bulbs are
commonly used in track,
under cabinet and range
hood ventilation lighting.

* Only use dimmable CFLs in dimming circuits that state they are rated “dimmable.”

90% of the energy used to power a traditional incandescent bulb is wasted as heat.
